Sandane Airport, Anda (Norwegian: Sandane lufthavn, Anda; IATA: SDN, ICAO: ENSD) is a regional airport serving Sandane, Norway. It perpendicularly straddles the Anda peninsula in Gloppen between Nordfjorden and Gloppefjorden. The airport has an asphalt runway measuring 970 by 30 meters (3,182 by 98 ft) and aligned 09/27. Services are provided by Widerøe on public service obligation with the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The airport is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor and served 37,272 passengers in 2013.
The airport was opened on 1 July 1975 as the only public airport serving Nordfjord, four years after the other regional airports in Sogn og Fjordane. Originally the airport was served with de Havilland Canada Twin Otters. The airport was plagued with severe turbulence and low regularity. A terminal expansion took place in 1987 and the runway was slightly expanded in 2010.
The first four airports in Sogn og Fjordane and southern Sunnmøre opened on 1 July 1971: Florø Airport: Førde Airport, Øyrane; Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen and Ørsta–Volda Airport, Hovden. This left the district of Nordfjord without an airport. Four locations were considered; in addition to Anda, these were Markane in Stryn, Bjørlomona in Eid and Mona in Sandane. Anda was ultimately selected. The airport opened on 1 July 1975. Services were part of the West Coast route operated by Widerøe with their 19-seat de Havilland Canada Twin Otters. Services were originally flown to Bergen Airport, Flesland; Ålesund Airport, Vigra and other regional airports on the coast.
